(corri!)

Back from camp! There are so much things to say, so much things to type in. So let's just start from day 1 and everything. And I changed my skin so enjoy and start getting used to it. Its abit weird I know, but I think it sucks to anyway.

DAY1
Its just plain hot. Blazing hot on day one. It was abit boring but when we were in school playing the icebreaker games, it was very fun. To me we were pratically out in the sun more than we played. Okay no offence or anything, the first day's food really sucked.

Activities done: orienteering and low ropes.

Orienteering
It was fun okay. When Tingwen and I were so unlucky to hand pick number 9. Actually the senior, kimberly, told us not to take that. But I didnt see. So tingwen and I wanted to try and find it but we obviously didnt. But it was fun. At least there IS something fun there.

Low ropes
I dont know why its called low ropes when not all the obstacles needed the usage of ropes, but its still called low ropes. Ah anyway, this one had many obstacles. But still I learnt that we need team work and support from your friends in order to like complete the obstacles better-ly? Whatever la.

Day2
Which was actually yesterday. This was the day when we had to do everything else except, sand-castle-building.

Activities done: High elements, rock climbing, kayaking.

These were what I did.
High elements.
The high elelments were really scarey, you can call me a chicken when I didnt make it to the challenge pole. Cause I'm a real height frighter. When I came down and kept thinking that I'm such a loser, miss kang comforted me though.

Rock climbing.
It was fun but it was kinda hard to climb up. The parts when I had to step on were on small rocks which was hard to stablise. So now I have muscle aches.

Kayaking.
It was fun and funny. Joey and I kayak until we were in a pathetic state. It seems as though we had to sense of directions. Or worst, we dont know how to use the paddle. We kept asking the instructor to come back and push us to the right direction.

Cleaning toilet.
Oh my god (slang). The toilets were horrible. People just dont know what is throwing their sanitary pads in properly. Not into toilet bowls but into dustbins. I heard from the people who washed the female toilet, they had sanitary pads in the toilet bowl. Not one or two, but a few. It is really gross and disgusting. But I thought that the male toilet is cleaner. I heard one of the seniors saying that our toilet was much cleaner. But I brushed the sand until I had my back aching. But I love the water, so its kinda fun and funny. But I guess now, its back to dirty.

Day3

Activities done: Sand castle building.

I think its more than it. I really thank god that they re-schedued us. I was really happy. Not on day two but one day 3. Cause my period started. So at least I didnt had to kayak being disgusted. And sand castle building was fun? Eunice, michelle and I build a turtle. I'm so sad that I didnt bring my camera, If i did, many pictures might be up.

Overall I learnt: team work, dish-washing, toilet cleaning, sand picking, overcoming abit of my fears and confidence.

It doesnt really suck :)
